Puzzles!

We have always enjoyed putting together puzzles. In the past week, I've finished two. My Granny has been here for a few days, and she helped with one of them. :) Over the years, we've completed so many...big puzzles, little puzzles, and even 3D puzzles! Some of our favorites are Charles Wysocki puzzles, so we have a big collection of those. Some of the nicer ones we've finished are glued together, and I have two of them on my bedroom wall.

Yard sales are great places to pick up cheap puzzles, you just have to judge whether the person selling it would have lost any pieces. :) I've bought several good Wysocki puzzles at yard sales, and not one has had any missing pieces!

It really is a fun activity, especially if it's cold or rainy outside. :) Does anybody else enjoy puzzles?

I haven't tried a puzzle in a while, Sarah, but I used to love doing them. Now I'd have to be careful never to drop a piece on the floor with Barney around! He'd EAT it for sure. :)

I occasionally do the daily puzzle at jigzone.com. It's quick fun!

We used to put together a lot of puzzles, but we don't do it much anymore. We did have a lot of fun doing them--and would now too I'm sure if we got some out and put them together! :-)

Rob and I have been married for almost 7 years now, and we've never done a puzzle. That baffles me. We're going to have to go pick up a few to put together when it starts to get cold. Thanks for posting about puzzles! What a great idea.

Sarah ~ our family enjoys puzzles a lot! Our local thrift shop sells them 10/$1 and we stock up. My Mom (69 years young)still does puzzles in bed every night (puts a big board on her lap), and my sister-in-law also loves puzzles. I do puzzles at church with some other adults while our children are playing soccer in the gym. I think you find more puzzlers the farther north you go ~ it's a cold weather thing!

I love puzzles too. Last winter I did a bunch of them. Haven't done one since.
